The Top Five Surgical and Non-Surgical Plastic Surgery Procedures.

Have you had plastic surgery? Have you considered it? You are certainly not alone.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 11.5 million surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed during the year 2006 in the United States alone.

Here are the top five of each type of method, surgical and non-surgical.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedures

  1. Liposuction – 403,684
  2. Breast augmentation – 383,886
  3. Eyelid surgery – 209,999
  4. Abdominoplasty – 172,457
  5. Breast Reduction – 145,822

Cosmetic Non-Surgical Procedures

  1. Botox – 3.1 million
  2. Hyaluronic Acid – such as Hylaform, Restylane – 1.5 million
  3. Laser hair removal – 1.4 million
  4. Microdermabrasion – 993,071
  5. Laser Skin Resurfacing – 556,172

I will be on the lookout for the statistics for 2007 when they are published next year. I wonder if the numbers will rise.

What do you think?

    Botox is now the top cosmetic procedure in the country–that’s not too surprising. I bet it will continue to be at the top of the new ASAPS lists when they come out in a few weeks. It really works wonders on certain areas of the face.

    I figured that Botox and breast-type surgeries would be near the top. Do I think they’ll rise? I’m not sure, I have a feeling they probably will though!
